CVE-2026-71224— Gfs2-utils: gfs2-utils: stack overflow via alloca(i_height) in metadata walk

Quick assessment

Affected
Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

在 gfs2-utils 中发现了一个栈溢出漏洞。 中的元数据遍历（metadata walk）代码使用 时，直接采用了来自磁盘元数据的、未经校验的 inode 高度值，缺乏边界检查。在处理特制的 GFS2 文件系统镜像时，这会导致栈耗尽，从而引发拒绝服务（DoS）问题。
